WRINGER ATTACHM ENT.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 748,014, dated December 29, 1903.

' Application filed March 28, 1903. Serial No. 149,926. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern/.-

Be it known that 1, JOHN D. HISS, a citizen of the United States, residing at Omaha, in

the county of Douglas and State of Nebraska, have invented. certain new and useful Improvements in Wringer Attachments, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to improvements in wringer attachments; and the object of my invention is the provision of a device which can be easily applied to a tub or receptacle to properly support the wringer and which can be thrown out of use and which when out of use will latch and secure the cover of the tub closed.

Another object of my invention is the provision of a device which can be applied to the tub or receptacle at a very small expense, which will securely hold the wringer when in use, which can be quickly thrown out of use, and which will be strong, durable, and practical.

With these objects in view my invention consists'of an attachment for wringers embodying novel features of construction and combination of parts, substantially as disclosed herein.

Figure 1 represents a perspective view of my attachment in position for use. Fig. 2 represents a similar view with the wringer applied, and Fig. 3 represents a perspective view of the device out of use and serving to latch the cover of the tub or receptacle.

In the drawings, the letter A designates the tub or receptacle, provided with a hinged cover B, said cover carrying an eye or loop 0, and the receptacle is also provided with an eye or loop D on the inner edge of the rim adjacent to the top thereof. To the outer side of the tub near the top is secured the pair of vertically disposed plates E, which are provided at their upper endseach with a pair of bifurcated lugs F, provided with openings G, and in said bifurcated lugs fit and are pivoted by means of pins H'the arms J, which are formed with the plates K, arranged at a right angle to said arms, thus forming brackets. The brackets are secured by means of bolts L to the board M, said board being formed with notches N, which enable the board to fit snugly upon the rim of the tub, as most clearly seen in Fig. 1, and

to the board is connected the wringer O, of well-known and common construction and upon which I make no claim. To the said board is attached the pivoted hook P, which when the board is in use engages the eye or loop D on the tub to hold the wringer firmly, and when the wringer is not in use the said hook engages the eye or loop 0 to secure the cover closed.

It is evident from the foregoing description'and drawings that I provide a simple, durable, and practical device for supporting a wringer and that the device will also lock the tub-cover when not in use.

I claim- The combination with the receptacle, the hinged cover, the eye carried by said cover, the pair of brackets secured to the edge of the receptacle, the wringer-supporting board having the notches tofit on the edge of the receptacle when in use, the brackets secured to the board and pivoted to the brackets on 1 the receptacle, said brackets having the shoulders to fit on the edge of the receptacle, and the pivoted catch carried by the board and engaging the receptacle to secure the board and also adapted to engage the eye on the cover to secure said cover when closed.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
